TopTung’s models will help plan further exploration at ADZ project in Canada

Drilling results have been used to prepare sectional and plan views as well as a wireframe model.

The models are based on results from TopTung’s initial drilling at Alotta

TopTung Ltd (ASX:TTW) will utilise new sectional and plan views as well as a wireframe model to help plan further exploration at Alotta prospect of the Alotta-Delphi-Zullo (ADZ) project in Quebec, Canada.

The plans and models were prepared by consultants Orix Geoscience based on results of TopTung’s first drilling of the nickel, copper, platinum group elements (PGE), cobalt and silver prospect.

TopTung said that knowledge of the Alotta geology and mineralisation acquired from the drill program would assist it in the evaluation of other known mineralisation in the ADZ project area.

The company is pleased with the potential economic value of the mineral endowment at Alotta, giving confidence to its goal of becoming a mining and low-cost toll milling operation through identifying shallow emplaced ore bodies amenable to open pit mining.

Helicopter VTEM will now be flown over the ADZ this quarter in conjunction with the planned program at the Lorraine project, subject to contractor availability and clear weather.

This VTEM data is expected to upgrade the 2001 AeroTEM and 2002 MegaTEM coverage which identified the known deposits.

TopTung is aiming to announce a work program in the coming weeks which will be based on the existing geology and drilling results together with any new geophysical data.
